Ok, and yeah the map pool 100% affects balance. Something like remove creep vision (so ling and overlord spread would be more important) would be the best way to ensure balance. Balance should not exist because of coin flips, and Zerg should win by reacting properly to what they scout and being a fairly reactive race. In order to 'fix' Zerg, what really needs to happen is something to increase the APM tax of Zerg's strengths. If you can hold a base lead as Zerg and deny the opponent from expanding, you win. The issue is Zerg feels OP because they can now defend, scout, and react appropriately.Įven Broodlors/infestor is not some OP win condition, it's merely the result of Zerg surviving and countering the opponent - ie No Zerg can win on Broodlord/infestor with even bases against a Terran or Protoss opponent with an even game.Īt the end of the day this game is about being able to take or deny bases. Zerg was always meant to be the best race if you know what the opponent is doing, it's just their design with larva. In my opinion, it's not one thing about Zerg that is OP but a function of their macro.Ĭreep giving vision and how well Zergs play now means they basically have map back and counter everything the opponent does. This doesn't even get into midgame nydus strats that have near 0 counter or comeback potential if not scouted AND not countered before they come out. The best anyone can do is be good enough to have similar quality control to them, and then they can't win that fight. Which isn't really possible vs people like Serral, Dark, Reynor, Rogue. So basically every ZvX game right now comes down to, did they do enough damage to set the zerg so far behind that 12 corruptors, 8 broods, and the rest infestors can't steamroll whatever is thrown at them, and can the zerg control/split their army effectively enough to deal with the death by 1000 cuts that is attempted because it's impossible to straight up win a fight with bl/festor/corruptor without better control than the zerg player. This means that if a skytoss player is out of position once, and zerg catches it, fungal, IT and boom the entire golden armada evaporates.
bls zone stuff, corruptors act as a meat shield, roaches deal with runbys, and then infestors act as secondary detection and hard punish bad positioning with fungal, the highest dps AA in the game for energy (infested terran), and instant high value target neutralization (neural). With similar quality control between the zerg and the other race, bl/infestor cannot lose a straight up fight right now. This is all my opinion, as a person who doesn't even play 1v1 anymore, just watches most every game in every top tournament from the Ro16 up.įor zerg right now, if you play an even game, and reach late game at an relatively even economy/losses/etc, the zerg is ahead purely because of infestor efficiency.
